hi

try that

echo | mailx -s "Oracle filesystem 0 has less than 100k free." adzuan@nc.com.my

With the format you're using for mailx, it will definately hang forever.
this format will "from command line" give you a new line, where you type in a message, and every newline will do the same, until you type in a . "dot"
then it will send all the text you typed in with the subject.

mailx expects a message of some sort, by default, not just a subject!

The correct format within a script is:

Code:

mailx -s "subject" email_address < FILENAME > /dev/null 2>&1
# or if you don't want to use a file
mailx -s "subject" email_address << EOD > /dev/null 2>&1
EOD

if you don't redirect to /dev/null it'll complain about an empty message, and cron will not like that.

Hi All....First i would like to say thanks a lot to u guys for contributing an idea.

To csenewbie, tq for suggesting to try the mailx command manually

To denn, tq for giving me an idea to successfully run the script from crontab
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Today i managed to run the script and it work fine.

This is the mailx command that i used in the script.

mailx -r oraadm@juwpkl.gov.my -s "Oracle filesystem $i has less than 5000000k free." adzuan@nc.com.my
